Montesano Extremadura with gastronomy . For the third consecutive year, Montesano Extremadura, and with them the DO Dehesa de Extremadura, will be at the great international congress San Sebastian Gastronomika 2020 , showing with its support to the congress its unconditional support for gastronomy, and more so in this "virtual" edition open to all, which facilitates and stimulates access to the event at a time when we all need new ideas, to reinvent ourselves and, above all, to arm ourselves for the immediate future.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe brand thus consolidates its commitment to contemporary hospitality and cuisine, advancing an ambitious campaign in the catering sector for 2021 and preparing a new generation of fifth range products aimed at expanding its market. All at the Montesano Extremadura online stand.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphDespite the complexity of 2020, with a pandemic that has affected all sectors, including gastronomy, Montesano Extremadura , as Carmen, Jaime and Raúl García Pascual , owners together with their father and founder Martín García Garzón , point out, “has been able to reposition its strategies in various lines of action: on the one hand, the slight drop in the national market has allowed us to work more intensely on our R&D&I to improve all our processes, while developing new fifth range products, one of the areas that we believe is decisive for the new times. And, on the other hand, we have increased our turnover in exports, one of the most robust fronts of our company. For all this, even with the Covid uncertainty, we can look to the future with optimism”.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphIn this sense, the presence of Montesano Extremadura at the online congress (which already has more than 5,000 congressmen from all over the world registered) is even stronger than in previous editions.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphIn addition to the presentation of its star pieces - the 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham, assigned to the demanding DO Dehesa de Extremadura, recent winner of the Superior Taste Awards 2020 in Brussels, in the category of 'Exceptional Product' - it also presents, as always, a great display of its other products - including the famous lomito and lomo dobledo -, which will be on the fair's virtual stand, with an interactive format to share with all customers.

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphAbout Montesano Extremadura: family, passion and excellence for 2021
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe rich pastures of Extremadura, 100% Iberian pigs, advanced R&D&I and a leisurely five-year curing process make Montesano Extremadura's 100% Iberian acorn-fed hams unique, delicate and refined pieces that are not only at the top in Spain, but also in the world, present in more than 40 countries.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe history of Grupo Montesano begins with its founder, Martín García Garzón , a native of Salamanca living in the Canary Islands who in 1965 took the first steps in the creation of an emblematic company in the meat sector, heir to a strong family tradition that has its roots in his land of origin, Fuente de San Esteban (Salamanca), and which today extends throughout the world, in its third generation, thanks to the successor taken by his three children: Jaime, Carmen and Raúl .
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphThe group expanded in 1996 with the acquisition of a 100% Iberian farm in Jerez de los Caballeros, Badajoz : Montesano Extremadura was born, a modern farm with more than 16,000 hectares of land for raising the animals in freedom and caring for them for up to two montaneras.
/wp:paragraph wp:paragraphIn 2000, it was the first Spanish company to export ham to Japan, Mexico and Peru; in 2008, it was the first Iberian company authorised to enter China . Today , Montesano reaches more than 40 countries on five continents , with the guarantee of being one of the first brands in the sector to adhere to strict compliance with the Iberian quality standards in force in Spain and Europe, in addition to those governing the Dehesa de Extremadura Designation of Origin .
